Abstract [en]

There are many possibilities for PhD students to publish research work: workshops, conferences, book chapters, journals, open access publications, etc. In many countries it is mandatory to have at least some publications before being able to finish a PhD dissertation. In a special session for the doctoral consortium participants at PoEM 2016 in Skövde (Sweden), an experienced researcher offered his perspective on publishing opportunities. This paper summarizes the content of the special session. One intention of the paper is to encourage participants to consider extending their research publications towards journal publications.
